History Music / DaysOfFuturePassed

* TheNotRemix: The album was remixed in 1978 after the original master tapes deteriorated. This version remained standard until 2017, when the 1967 mix finally saw a re-release for the album's 40th anniversary (with the double-CD+DVD release including it alongside the remix).

The album sold steadily, no doubt helped with "Nights in White Satin" receiving regular radio play, which led to the single peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. It is regarded as one of the early examples of ProgressiveRock, especially with the incorporation of symphonic music.

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: An example where a remix had to be made because the master tapes deteriorated not even a decade later. Eventually the original mix was recovered just in time for release of the 2017 remaster.

* NewSoundAlbum: Starting off as yet another rhythm 'n blues band in the British Invasion, this album shaped The Moody Blues' identity as a symphonic progressive rock band.
* TheNotRemix: The album was remixed in 1978 after the original master tapes deteriorated.

# "The Night” (7:24)

* BookEnds: Began and ended in a similar poetic verse as recited by Mike Pinder.

* TheNotRemix: The album had been remixed in 1978 after the original master tapes deteriorated.

''Days of Future Passed'' is the second studio album by Music/TheMoodyBlues, and was released on November 1967. It was also the first album to feature Justin Hayward and John Lodge after the departure of Denny Laine and Clint Warwick. Leading up to the album's release, The Moody Blues had faced financial difficulties after the debut album ''The Magnificent Moodies'' did not achieve commercial success, and Creator/DeccaRecords offered for the band to record an LP for their new sublabel [[Creator/DeramRecords Deram]] that intersperses their music with orchestral backing. The band went to work on a concept album involving a day in the life of an everyday man, with them and the London Festival Orchestra playing at separate times except in "Nights in White Satin".

-->--"[[BookEnds The Night -- Late Lament]]"

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night\\

And which is an illusion.\\
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky\\
Let insipid figures of light pass by.\\
The mighty light of ten-thousand suns\\
Challenges infinity and is soon gone.\\
Night time, to some a brief interlude,\\
To others the fear of solitude.\\
Brave Helios, wake up your steeds!\\
Bring the warmth the countryside needs!

->Breathe deep the gathering gloom,\\
Watch lights fade from every room.\\
Bedsitter people look back and lament\\
Another day's useless energy spent.\\
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one\\
Lonely man cries for love and has none.\\
New mother picks up and suckles her son.\\
Senior citizens wish they were young.\\
